Chapter 401. Initial (medium).

……

After questioning, without waiting for Zhou Shangjing to answer, Emperor Deqing continued: "Do you know how heavy the crime of bullying the monarch is? Even if you are the head of the court and the old minister of the three dynasties, such a crime is not something you can bear alone! ”

Between the words and demeanors, the meaning of intimidation is very obvious.

However, Zhou Shangjing's expression remained calm and calm, and in the face of Emperor Deqing's stern questioning, he only replied slowly: "Your Majesty, since the trip to Slender West Lake, in response to the rumors of Suzhou Wokou, the old minister has also deliberately asked Zhou Suhai repeatedly, and he has also sent someone to secretly investigate, and there is indeed no such thing!" After all, once this kind of thing happened that the Japanese invaders were ravaging Suzhou, it would inevitably spread widely, even if Zhou Suhai deceived the old minister with a fluke intention, and after the old minister secretly sent someone to investigate, he should never find any clues. ”

While Zhou Shangjing was answering, Zhao Junchen secretly observed Emperor Deqing's expression. But after finding that Zhou Shangjing was carrying it and not admitting it, Emperor Deqing's eyes faintly flashed with a hint of joy.

It stands to reason that in the face of such obvious evidence, not admitting it like Zhou Shangjing is not only a crime of deception, but also a contempt for imperial power, and Emperor Deqing should be furious at this time.

Therefore, after discovering the change in Emperor Deqing's expression, Zhao Junchen's heart couldn't help but feel a little strange, and he didn't know what kind of idea Emperor Deqing had in his heart.

However, the joy in Emperor Deqing's expression was only a flash, and after a short moment, Emperor Deqing's expression had changed to natural anger, his eyes were cold, staring at Zhou Shangjing tightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Can't find any clues?" Just now. In that side hall, the cries of the people are all seen and heard by you and me. Aren't those signs a clue? ”

After a pause, Emperor Deqing continued to sneer: "A few days ago. On the shore of the Slender West Lake, the little girl's singing voice poured out the same thing as the rebellion in Suzhou, what you said at the time was that these were just beggars' means of begging and pretending to be pitiful, I thought that you were an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and would never do anything to deceive the king, so I believed you, but similar things happened again and again in front of my eyes, how do you make me believe your words? The people in the side hall who have been plagued by the woe and are now crying. And how are you going to explain it?! ”

In the face of Emperor Deqing's more and more severe questioning, Zhou Shangjing still looked immobile and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is very strange, and I am afraid that there are many hidden secrets in it, which should not be trusted, and should be concluded after careful investigation." ”

"Still need to investigate? Good! I'll let you check it out! In the next three days, the personnel of the three divisions, the accompanying hundred officials, and the local government of Nanzhili. You can move as much as you want! Such a huge amount of power is enough for you to find out the details, right? For the sake of you being an old minister of the Three Dynasties, I will believe you again to see what you can find out! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation in the end. Then don't blame me for your crime of deceiving the king! ”

After speaking, Emperor Deqing threw up his sleeves and left, and Zhao Junchen hurriedly followed. The words of comfort and flattery in his mouth kept talking, but Zhou Shangjing, who was silent, was left.

on the surface. At this time, Zhao Junchen looked dazed and confused, as if he didn't understand what was going on. It seemed that he was panicking about the conflict between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, but in fact, Zhao Junchen was secretly shocked in his heart, and he only felt that Emperor Deqing's methods were too ruthless and desperate - Emperor Deqing's plan was not only aimed at Zhou Shangjing, but also planned to wipe out the entire Zhou party!

Last time, on the shore of Slender West Lake, the little girl who told about the rebellion in Suzhou through singing was obviously deliberately arranged by Emperor Deqing, just to trap Zhou Shangjing, so that all kinds of hidden feelings in Suzhou could be linked to Zhou Shangjing, so that Zhou Shangjing could not protect himself by sacrificing Zhou Suhai, and after the incident, Zhou Shangjing would inevitably be charged with bullying and covering up.

And this time, in the Daxiong Hall of Canglang Pavilion, the people who suddenly appeared and cried miserably were obviously also deliberately arranged by Emperor Deqing, and then Emperor Deqing could use the topic to play, in the name of "I believe you again", let Zhou Shangjing lead people to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Suzhou Wokou, so that after the East Window incident, not only Zhou Shangjing will be questioned, but also those Zhou Party officials who helped Zhou Shangjing cover up the matter will also be implicated! Then, under the guidance of Gua Lianman, all the Zhou Party officials will be affected, and in the end, the entire "Zhou Party" will be destroyed by Emperor Deqing in one fell swoop, and Zhou Shangjing will also have one more charge of "forming a party for personal gain"!

Emperor Deqing's serial plan is both a conspiracy and a conspiracy, and it is not so ingenious, but in addition to one link after another, it is a must to attack Zhou Shangjing, as long as Zhou Shangjing still wants to keep his eldest grandson Zhou Suhai, then Zhou Shangjing has to jump into the trap of Emperor Deqing, and gamble everything!

"Although Zhou Suhai is the eldest grandson of Zhou Shangjing, just for him, he has put his decades of hard work in danger, is it worth it? Zhou Shangjing made such a choice, is he full of confidence that he can resolve this catastrophe, or is he really old and confused? ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but turn his head to glance at Zhou Shangjing, but found that Zhou Shangjing's expression was still calm, and his seemingly faint old eyes were also full of profundity.

"I want to see what Zhou Shangjing is going to do next!"

Zhao Junchen thought again.

……

In the midst of his thoughts, Zhao Junchen had already followed Emperor Deqing to the corner of the corridor and left Zhou Shangjing's line of sight.

Then, the original anger in Emperor Deqing's expression suddenly disappeared, but it was replaced with a thoughtful expression.

This time, in order to let Zhou Shangjing get into the trap smoothly and let the entire "Zhou Party" fall into the game, Emperor Deqing naturally prepared a lot of back-hands, but he didn't expect that many back-hands were useless, so Zhou Shangjing took the initiative to take the bait!

Although the plan went well, it was too smooth, and Emperor Deqing's heart was faintly uneasy, and he only felt that things were not so simple.

After all, with Zhou Shangjing's eyes, it is impossible not to see Emperor Deqing's calculations, but even so, Zhou Shangjing still jumped into the trap without hesitation, which can only show that Zhou Shangjing has some hole cards that are enough to turn defeat into victory.

However, what these hole cards were, Emperor Deqing couldn't figure out for a while.

Although Emperor Deqing's plan has just begun, and he also has his own hole cards, this unpredictable feeling still makes Emperor Deqing feel unhappy.

Therefore, for Emperor Deqing, the top priority is to send factory guards to strictly investigate all the actions of Zhou Shangjing during this period of time, and find out what he has missed.

So, after pondering for a while, Emperor Deqing turned his head to Zhao Junchen and said, "Junchen, if I want to be alone and quiet next, you don't want to accompany you, go and do your own thing." ”

Zhao Junchen knew that Emperor Deqing had many arrangements that were inconvenient for him to know, so he couldn't stay with Emperor Deqing, so he didn't entangle, and after agreeing, he turned around and left.

Emperor Deqing, on the other hand, still had a contemplative expression and slowly walked towards the temporary official residence.

……

However, it was said that after Zhao Junchen left Emperor Deqing, he did not go far, but came to the garden of Canglang Pavilion, secretly thinking about the next change in the situation.

However, just as Zhao Junchen was thinking, not far from Zhao Junchen, a bald head that appeared from time to time attracted Zhao Junchen's attention and interrupted Zhao Junchen's train of thought.

It turned out that Master Huibao, the host of Nanchan Temple, was flustered at this time, and kept peeking at Zhao Junchen, looking like he wanted to talk to Zhao Junchen, but he was afraid of disturbing Zhao Junchen.

Seeing Huibao's appearance, Zhao Junchen smiled slightly, and also guessed Huibao's approximate thoughts at this time, so he waved at Huibao, and then Huibao trotted all the way to Zhao Junchen's side.

PS: The great helplessness of life is that you do your best and give everything, and you can't change anyone's mind, the word "understand" is easier said than done! The word "misunderstanding" is always easier said than done! Then, at some point in our lives, it will suddenly become a dead knot, and no matter what, it will not be resolved!

During this time, due to the burden of family affairs, the insects are really physically and mentally exhausted, and it has also affected the writing ideas, and only one chapter has been updated last month, and the quality is also very poor, so I'm sorry. Although the matter is not resolved yet, the bugs will return to normal updates in the future! Because the bug suddenly discovered that writing is actually a viable way to escape reality! Smile!

In many cases, when reality cannot be reversed no matter what, escaping does not represent weakness, but the only option.
